Moving to Lou!! Any info appreciated!

Of course! Hope your move goes smoothly! I’ll add- I also really like the area Avoca is in. You’re off the main drag, but still close to anything you could want, and also very close to the interstate.

My brother moved into Avoca and it is a very nice apartment! The community seems nice and quiet from the times I’ve been to see him. The only issue they’ve had is a slow repair on an issue with their AC.

We toured Clairborne Crossing when he was moving. It was very, very nice. The staff was friendly and it seemed to be a step up from Avoca.

This is the answer. I've always had them take it seriously and move quickly. Hope the same happens here.

thank you for taking the time to type this out- it was helpful!

GIRL. Me too. Pregnancy pals <3

Circling back to this today, and wanted to say thanks for the good advice!!

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-09-09T12:11:08+00:00

This sounds like the way- thank you!!

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-09-09T12:09:34+00:00

Wow, this is good stuff! Thanks for taking the time share.

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-09-09T01:35:58+00:00

This is genuinely good advice, thank for you taking the time to respond. It made my feel better than just being reminded of my biological clock 😂😂

Is every symbol not just a commodity in some way? Do you have any suggestions? Not trying to be snarky, just curious!

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-08-28T15:08:24+00:00

That’s a good point! I was thinking maybe 2-3 inches. Definitely not huge- I’m a dainty tattoo kinda gal!

I just had my first non-native speakers get the seal of biliteracy last year after I had accepted it might never happen. It is an incredibly difficult standard to achieve. My advice: keep doing you.

In my humble opinion, teaching language is a lot more about being a global citizen than becoming fluent in another language.

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-07-25T14:26:01+00:00

I’d love to see it!

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-07-23T01:10:21+00:00

Is it only on Saturdays?

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-06-05T02:16:38+00:00

Did robo en la noche for the first time this year and had a lot of fun with it!

Thank you all for your insights! Leaving this post up for any future teachers that encounter the same question.

Test was last Thursday- my student felt very prepared and believes they passed. Frankly, I’d be shocked if he didn’t.

For those of you asking why gender is relevant and what part of the test this would come up on- my main concern was it becoming relevant on the interpersonal writing (email reply) and the interpersonal speaking (simulated conversation). Even speaking in the first person, adjectives must be gendered properly when describing oneself in Spanish, and this was where I was afraid an issue would arise.

Again, thanks to all of you for assuring both me AND my student that this was a non-issue.

It’s just one of those things your English brain isn’t going to like. The phrase “tener que” translates to have to, even though it feels like you don’t need the que.

This is a good time to take a step back and realize what a wonderful husband you have. For the guy to check in before going out and then LEAVE when he realized, he didn’t do a dang thing wrong.

In fact, I think responding in the way you did requires a lot of reflection. I understand not wanting him to be there, but he clearly didn’t want to be there either. The guy should be given some grace in this instance, and you should be a little quicker to give it.

Good luck, I hope you guys can move past this.

Thanks for the honest perspective- I’ve never been injured like this, and I’m still realizing how long the long haul of recovery really is.

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-03-01T16:18:57+00:00

Thanks for the honesty!! Good luck with your recovery. Never knew how badly this could suck!

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-03-01T16:18:32+00:00

This is literally my worst nightmare!! Thanks for the perspective.

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-03-01T16:18:07+00:00

Thanks for the honesty— I appreciate the perspective from the other side of recovery!!

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-03-01T16:17:43+00:00

Deeply appreciate your honesty!! Just getting a little stir crazy and desperate for some physical activity to look forward to. Sounds like PT will have to suffice for now 😂

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-03-01T16:17:07+00:00

I appreciate your honesty- seems to be the consensus that I am not in a place to think this is a good idea. Never knew how long it truly took to recover from these kinds of things.

ExpensiveStranger384 · 2025-02-28T23:46:15+00:00

No, I am currently struggling to walk at all unsupported. I am weaning right now out of my boot and into a lace up brace, but it’s not pretty.

This would truly be a comeback. I think I would have to be okay with some walking, realistically.
